Albatross

A little hatchling from an abandoned nest. She's quite clueless and unsure, but pure hearted and loves to help hunt! Her 'momma' doesn't seem to like her straying too far away, though...

Day 1- Aged carcass
Leone had found a carcass in the woods! After hiding her little hatchling underneath the trees, she ventured off to find the culprit. After all, food was already hard to come across. After scrounging for hours, she found a clawful of bugs and flowers, but no sign of life.
After dark, she left again.
But to the no-named hatchling's dismay, she never returned.
"Momma...?"
No name carefully poked her snout through the grass, confused as to where she went.
The morning dew on the grass didn't do much to help her senses, either, once she found herself lost in the thicket as well.
The hatchling is alone.

Day 1, part 2 - Ocean.

After wandering and stumbling about for what felt like days, no name felt her claws hit hot sand. Stumbling backwards and blinking, she examined the strange substance on her claws, piping a small 'sqWAK' of surprise.
Determining it was safe she continued to cautiously trot across the sand, letting out little squeaks of surprise every time she felt a rock or a shell between her feet. And beyond that was a huge plain of moving bluey stuff...
But she was soon distracted by the fluttering of feathers from behind her, before a swift pair of claws scooped up the small hatchling.
Instead of the growls from the night-beasts, she heard a warm, welcoming and startled voice from the dragon keeping her from wandering too far.
"And who might you be, kid...?"
His voice was soft as he smiled down at the hatchling, although they looked quite worried... His scales were a bright, sandy hue with intricate patterns of vibrant blues woven into them.
No name piped up with a worried little 'awrk?', before managing to sound out "m.. omma?"
The dragon seemed to huff a bit at that, drawing a comforting wing around no name.
"No no, not your mother, just a passerby... Is she nearby?"

No name shook her head quickly, imitating the 'huff' from the stranger.
"Oh, are.. You lost?"
A nod.
"Is she.. Oh no.. I see, well, if you'd come with me, perhaps I could let you stay for a while. We'll look for her in the meantime, alright?"
Seeing as the smile was genuine on his face, no name nodded, sticking by the stranger's side.

Albatross's eyes were wide as she explored the shack by the ocean. To her, it seemed HUGE.
She playfully batted at the blue hued carpet, gaze traveling to the spiral from before. While not entirely understanding why they seemed so worried, she was just glad to have a new dragon by her side.
"... Err- Right, you can't- talk, right- I think, talk well... Hrm-"
The spiral curled thoughtfully around himself, tapping his claw on his chin as he traveled around the house. "..I can.. Work with that, maybe-"
"I can work with that, maybe!" squawked the tiny hatchling, garnering a surprised look from the Spiral. "Oh?"
"Oh?"
"Are you mimicking me?"
"Are you mimicking me?"
"Woah.."
"Woah.."
"Uh- Uh, hold on. Can.. Can you scramble the words? ..Uh-- Abcdefg-"
"Scramble uh, uh on hold can you abdecfg-"
"W o a h."
At this point, Caspian was knelt on the floor, curiously repeating words to Albatross. She giggled, continuing to mix them up.
"I... Love... You!"
She poked his snout with a tiny claw, observing his expression.
He fell silent.
"..."
"..."
Oh.
Her smile dropped. Had she done something wrong...?
Caspian's eyes seemed to be watering as he blinked for a moment, before wrapping up Albatross in a tight, knotted hug!
"Ohmy g o s h- - - You are.. SO PURE- I love you too!! Kid!! And we're gonna find your parents, no matter what, y'hear me?!"
